[0028] For improving the inductor quality factor, embodiments of the present invention provide an integrated inductor structure and a method for manufacturing the integrated inductor structure. An integrated inductor structure 1000 is illustrated in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the integrated inductor structure 1000 includes a guard ring 1100, a patterned shield 1200, and an inductor 1300. The way of the present invention to improve the inductor quality factor is to improve the structures of the guard ring 1100 and the patterned shield 1200, which will be described below.

[0029] FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-section diagram of the integrated inductor structure of FIG. 1 according to some embodiments of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the integrated inductor structure 1000 includes a capacitor 1400, a guard ring 1100, a patterned shield 1200, and an inductor 1300 (now shown). With respect to structure, the guard ring 1100 is coupled to the capacitor 1400. The patterned shield 1200 is coupled to the guard ring 1100 through the capacitor 1400, such that the patterned shield 1200 is floating. The inductor 1300 is disposed above the guard ring 1100 and the patterned shield 1200.

[0030] It is noted that the patterned shield 1200 can also be coupled to ground. In this situation, the patterned shield 1200 is referred to as a patterned ground shield (PGS), and functions thereof will be described below. When the inductor 1300 of the integrated inductor structure 1000 operates, there is eddy current generated on a substrate. The eddy current will affect the quality factor of the inductor 1300. If the PGS is disposed between the inductor 1300 of the integrated inductor structure 1000 and the substrate, the PGS can be regard as a shield to prevent eddy current from being generated on the substrate when the inductor 1300 operates. Therefore, the inductor quality factor can be improved. In one embodiment, the line width of the guard ring 1100 can be about 0.05 um-10 um. The distance between the guard ring 1100 and the inductor 1300 may have different design ranges for different inductors, and the possible design range is about 2 um-25 um.

[0031] Furthermore, since the integrated inductor process has been developed toward 28 nm and 20 nm processes. In this miniature dimension, there exist lots of negative effects due to the miniature size of the integrated inductors. For improving the negative effects, the integrated inductor structure 1000 of the present invention further implement the capacitor 1400 between the guard ring 1100 and the patterned shield 1200, thereby floating the patterned shield 1200. In other words, the patterned shield 1200 is not directly coupled to ground. The foregoing structure enables the patterned shield 1200 and the capacitor 1400 to form a filtering circuit for filtering out direct signals and low frequency signals. Therefore, direct signals and low frequency signals can be filtered out to prevent such signals from affecting the inductor 1300 of the integrated inductor structure 1000, such that the quality factor of the inductor 1300 can be improved, and the efficiency of the integrated inductor structure 1000 can be enhanced.

[0032] In another embodiment, the capacitor 1400 includes a MOS varactor, and the MOS varactor includes a first-type substrate 1410, a second-type well 1420 and a second-type doped region 1430. In addition, the integrated inductor structure 1000 further includes a polysilicon resistor 1500. With respect to structure, the second-type well 1420 is formed on the first-type substrate 1410. The second-type doped region 1430 is formed on the second-type well 1420 and is coupled to the patterned shield 1200. The polysilicon resistor 1500 is formed above the second-type well 1420 and is coupled to the guard ring 1100. In one embodiment, the guard ring 1100 includes a first metal portion 1110 and a second metal portion 1120. The first metal portion 1110 is disposed in a first metal layer of the integrated inductor structure 1000, and the second metal portion 1120 is disposed in a second metal layer of the integrated inductor structure 1000.

[0033] As can be known from the structure of the figure, the patterned shield 1200 and the capacitor 1400 form the filtering circuit for filtering out direct signals and low frequency signals. Therefore, the direct signals and the low frequency signals are filtered out to prevent such signals from affecting the inductor 1300 of the integrated inductor structure 1000, thus improving the quality factor of the inductor 1300. However, the type of the capacitor 1400 of the present invention is not limited to a MOS varactor, and those skilled in the art may selectively employ proper type of capacitor according to actual requirements. For example, those skilled in the art may select a metal-oxide-metal (MOM) capacitor, a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor, and so on.

[0034] In still another embodiment, the value of the capacitor 1400 can be set depending on actual requirements so as to filter signals with different frequency bands. In yet another embodiment, the first-type substrate 1410 can be P-type substrate, the second-type well 1420 can be N-type well, and the second-type doped region 1430 can be N-type doped region. However, the present invention is not limited in this regard, and those skilled in the art may employ N-type substrate to manufacture the first-type substrate 1410 depending on actual requirements. Accordingly, the second-type well 1420 can be P-type well, and the second-type doped region 1430 can be P-type doped region.

The difference between the integrated inductor structure 1000A in FIG. 3 and the integrated inductor structure 1000 in FIG. 2 is that the patterned shield 1200 of the integrated inductor structure 1000A in FIG. 3 includes at least two structures, such as a first patterned shield portion 1210A and a second patterned shield portion 1220A. With respect to structure, the first patterned shield portion 1210A is coupled to the second-type doped region 1430. The second patterned shield portion 1220A is coupled to the guard ring 1100. Specifically, the second patterned shield portion 1220A is coupled to the second metal portion 1120 of the guard ring 1100. In another embodiment, the first patterned shield portion 1210A and the second patterned shield portion 1220A are disposed in a first metal layer and a second metal layer of the integrated inductor structure 1000A respectively. The first patterned shield portion 1210A and the second patterned shield portion 1220A are overlapped or interlaced with each other. Therefore, the first patterned shield portion 1210A and the second patterned shield portion 1220A as a whole form a capacitor for enhancing the signal-filtering capability. In addition, the value of capacitance can be further adjusted based on the overlapped or interlaced relationship of the first patterned shield portion 1210A and the second patterned shield portion 1220A for filtering out signals with different frequency bands. In one embodiment, distances among metal portions in the same metal layer can be different due to different manufacturing processes or different values of capacitance, and the range of the distance can be about 0.01 um-2 um.

[0036] FIG. 4 is a schematic cross-section diagram of the integrated inductor structure of FIG. 1 according to some embodiments of the present invention. The difference between the integrated inductor structure 1000B of FIG. 4 and the integrated inductor structure 1000 of FIG. 2 resides in the disposition of the guard ring 1100 and the patterned shield 1200, which will be described below. As shown in FIG. 4, the patterned shield 1200B includes a first patterned shield portion 1210B and a second patterned shield portion 1220B. With respect to structure, the first patterned shield portion 1210B is disposed in the first metal layer of the integrated inductor structure 1000B and is coupled to the second-type doped region 1430. The second patterned shield portion 1220B is disposed in the second metal layer of the integrated inductor structure 1000B and is coupled to the first patterned shield portion 1210B. In one embodiment, the first patterned shield portion 1210B and the second patterned shield portion 1220B are overlapped or interlaced with each other. Therefore, similar to the structure of FIG. 3, the first patterned shield portion 1210B and the second patterned shield portion 1220B as a whole in FIG. 4 form a capacitor for enhancing the signal-filtering capability. In addition, the value of the capacitance can be further adjusted based on the overlapped or interlaced relationship of the first patterned shield portion 1210B and the second patterned shield portion 1220B for filtering out signals with different frequency bands.

The difference between the integrated inductor structure 1000C in FIG. 5 and the integrated inductor structure 1000 in FIG. 1 resides in the disposition of the guard ring 1100, the patterned shield 1200, and the capacitor 1400, which will be described below. As shown in FIG. 5, the capacitor 1400C includes a MOS varactor, and the MOS varactor includes a first-type substrate 1410C, a first-type well 1420C and a second-type doped region 1430C. In addition, the integrated inductor structure 1000C further includes a polysilicon resistor 1500C.

The polysilicon resistor 1500C is formed above the first-type well 1420C and is coupled to the guard ring 1100. In addition, the guard ring 1100 is coupled to the control line 1600. The first-type well 1420C and the second-type doped region 1430C are conducted by a control signal Scon provided by the control line 1600.

[0039] In another embodiment, the first-type substrate 1410C can be a P-type substrate, the first-type well 1420C can be a P-type well, and the second-type doped region 1430C can be a N-type doped region. Substrate, 1410 can be n type or p type substrate, where well structure, 1420, can be pwell or nwell. However, the present invention is not limited in this regard, and those skilled in the art can selectively employ proper material according to actual requirements. It is noted that, since the first-type well 14200 and the second-type doped region 1430C are manufactured by different types of material, the first-type well 1420C and the second-type doped region 1430C can be conducted or not conducted by the control signal Scon (for example, bias) provided by the control line 1600. In view of the above, the integrated inductor structure 1000C of embodiments of the present invention can further control the filtering circuit (formed by the capacitor 1400C and the patterned shield 1200C) through the above-mentioned structure, such that the filtering circuit may be turned on or off. Therefore, the operation flexibility of the integrated inductor structure 1000C can be enhanced, and the operation range of the integrated inductor structure 1000C can be expanded.
